6/16/2019. Oregon Trail and Wild Mustangs.

Yesterday we traveled to the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center.  While there:

• We watched a horse trainer work with two captured wild Mustangs.  These mustangs were captured about a year ago and are up for adoption for $125 ea.  At this point they are used to:
• Being fed
• People and dogs
• Corral
• Riding in a horse trailer
• They are not used to:
• Being ridden
• Being around children
• To get to this next level they require more training with a Horse Trainer and then they can be adopted for approximately $900.  They are typically a couple years old when they are adopted.
• Hiked 3 miles down to the actual Oregon Trail to see the ruts that the wagons left years ago in the prairie.
• Toured the museum which took longer than we thought (2 to 3 hours).  Very informative.

The positive thing is that Sandy and I seem to be getting used to hiking in 4000’ elevation.
